Macarons (Half-Day)

Macarons (Half-Day)

Macarons are a hugely popular sweet confection, visually stunning and flavoured in a myriad different ways.

This half-day course will teach you how to make the perfect macarons every time, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with delicious fillings and decorated to perfection.

You will leave the course with a box full of the macaroons you have made during the course - if you can resist eating them first that is!

“A wonderful mix of expertise, wit, flavours and practical tips”

The 'Moroccan to go' course was a wonderful mix of expertise, wit, flavours and practical tips. Well worth it and a lovely meal to take home at the end of the session. Most enjoyable from beginning to end. Thank you

“ I have now been 3 times”

I would highly recommend Ashburton Cookery School. I have now been 3 times and have given it as a present on a number of occasions to members of my family. It is so professional, yet very friendly and most informative. As someone who cooks a great deal I always learn loads and never feel patronised or inadequate. Thank you and I will be back very soon

“I now feel confident”

Rob was really kind, helpful and knowledgeable. The course was so much fun and something that could easily have been overwhelming was broken down to manageable steps and I now feel confident to try making macarons at home

“A huge box of beautiful, self-made macarons to take home.”

The half day macaron course was fantastic: a friendly, skilled teacher; a cosy, well-equipped teaching kitchen; and a huge box of beautiful, self-made macarons to take home. I'll be signing up for my next course soon - just have to choose which one!
